If the name Russell Brand rings a bell to you, that is probably because he has been one of the most active actors and comedians of the last 20 years. He's starred in some very successful comedy films and he also had a very public fall from grace. During his most difficult times, he admitted to having a life-threatening addiction to heroin and sex. After making a major recovery, Russell found a niche as a Youtube influencer that he paired with his stand-up comedy shows all around the world.
Brand also has appeared here in some famous shows and movies here and there. But his biggest contribution is through his Youtube channel that began with the name 'The Trews with Russell Brand'. This title is a wordplay combination of the words true and news. Since then, Brand has made it his mission to seek out the truth in the world and has gathered nearly 6 million subscribers on Youtube alone.
Youtube censors Russell Brand due to "COVID misinformation'
Brand revealed the news like this: "We have been officially censored by YouTube. They took down one of our videos for misinformation, but why are big media organizations not censored for misinformation in the same way? Is it because YouTube are part of the mainstream media now? Our previous video about COVID had been taken down because we cited information on official government websites, which we misinterpreted. We made an apology video, we've taken that down as well.
"YouTube took down our original video, we've taken down the apology video because in case we reiterate the claim while apologizing for it. We made an error, in my opinion a relatively small error, and we're being penalized! For me that looks like censorship, and the reason I think it looks like censorship is because there's mainstream media misinformation up all the time. So we're asking: Is there one standard for independent news broadcasters like us on our channel, and a different standard for what we would call the 'mainstream media?"
The 'big media' Brand is talking about is MSNBC, a leftist news organization that actually did spread false information about vaccines. Is has been repeatedly proven by the FDA and other science institutions that vaccines have saved millions of lives. However, it has also proved that they don't prevent people from getting infected with COVID. Brand specifically targets a Rachel Maddow video called 'We Can Get There!: Stunning Pace Of U.S. Vaccinations Puts Pandemic's End In Sight' that still remains on the platform despite saying vaccines prevent people from getting COVID.
